Sad to say somehow I raised a raging liberal. Not that he isn't surrounded by other family members that agree, but still. Anyway, I fear we may be one of those Civil War households. I told him to keep it down (playing a video game God this post just keeps getting more depressing) and he had a meltdown about how Trump is a fascist dictator. Didn't think it was the time to send this Babylon Bee article LOL. https://babylonbee.com/news/dangerous-fascist-dictator-censored-and-voted-out-of-office If there's any good news in this story, I think whatever HE reads to get his information must be chock full of pure PANIC. Otherwise you'd think he'd be glad to be rid of Orange Man Bad in a few days.

I have a slightly different take, HD. Me wonders if he is scared about his future so he lashes out bc you are “safe”. He strikes at something near and dear to you when you reprimand or gently chide him...like a verbal tennis match. You have every right to request a certain decibel level in your home. He is testing your boundaries. You sound like wonderful and caring parents. The literature I read says the male brain isn’t fully matured until 25-27. I remember the idiot things I said or did with my parents at that age. Be firm and polite in what you expect for the “house rules”. It is better he learns respect in your home rather than getting fired for lashing out at his future boss/colleague. You’ll get through this stage. Keep praying for wisdom! https://www.verywellfamily.com/individuation-and-young-adults-4051093#:~:text=Individuation%20is%20the%20process%20that%20occurs%20when%20a,has%20been%20seen%20as%20part%20of%20the%20family.
Thanks I very much needed that! God Bless.
P.S. he sounds like a very smart statistician!
